Hmmm... I might be interested because I probably won't be able to visit a wrecker until 2006 or 07 because of the age requirement. What about those bolts that hold down the air cleaner because those are also missing? I might even consider the whole assembly.

Is it all the wreckers that you can't get into? That sucks. I always hate it when a wrecker won't let me into the yard when they have alot of good cars in there, and I just know whatever I'm looking for they will not have in their inventory. Besides I don't like asking the guy a hundred questions about parts, that pisses them off. I like looking through the yards and finding stuff. They tightened the laws in my province and you have to sign a form now. The bolts that hold the air filter on are just m6x1 hex bolts. Toyota bolts are so much nicer than the standard kind with their built in washers and all, and they tend to rust less. Best of all, they're free at the wreckers. When it comes to bolts and screws, I just stuff my pockets with them. They don't charge for them anyway.

Well when I was about 7 years old (remember I told you I went to Arkansas) my dad and my uncle went to a wrecker and I was able to go in, but this I think was in Missouri. I will call some non-commercial wreckers and ask them if I can go in. This really sucks because there are teens that have cars at 16 and they don't have the chance to go to one. Maybe when I'm 17 then I try and see if they'll let me in if I can't right now. Yeah, stuffing your pockets is a good idea (saves you time) and the pain to find those bolts. Then you can play with them too.

<span style='color:blue'>I happened to have an assortment of nylon wingnuts that I got at a discount store one time...any hardware store might have some.tercel4wdrules wrote:I need a wingnut because a mechanic lost it. Takza: I know you told me before that you have a different one, where did you get it?
These don't have to be the right threads...just so it will go on the bolt and hold OK. I'm still using the first one I put on there.
